we're heroism, endurance, fortitude,
relf sacrifice, the institutions OF our
father, the ! rinciples Of civil liberty
the family, the State, the constitution,
let rs all-tbo'e who heroically stood
ty the Uniop, which, in the provi.
dence OF God, was saved, In the civil
strife, and those who fought fer the
principles OF civil liberty-without
which the Union Itself would
be nothing worth-let MS sill
hold in lasting remembrance
the noble deeds Of these heroic dead.
Passion and prejudice may, here aud
there, stain the fair escutcheon Of the
great American name, and undsrrate
the soldierly qualities and NOBLE deeds
of those who filled the highest meas
urs q political duty, but still the So
cred muse oil history, when with her
truth ful pen she wrsts the
sloCy OF the civil strife, will
write that the God of bat
ties in the earthquake Of war freed
the slaves, and that 5000, 600 freemeD
were engaged In q struggle for princi
ples that must live as long a. liberty
lssts, and worthy are these heroic
dead.
Then let us, as the years recede, re-
count the song and story, the annals
of these noble sons. With them, sur
vivors Of that contest, you endured
hunger; with them the tolls OF the
march; with them the summers
heat and winters cold; with
them You met the brave
Mortimer on the field; with them you
were wounded, and now btar the scars
OF battle. But, remember, they did
more. They filed the measure Of duty
full they gave their lives as q sscri-
fee. Sleep on, then, brave. heroic
dead, and may your noble deeds ever
thrill the patriot and animate your
brave survivors OF the North
and South, and their and your
sons and sons sons to
the remotest generation ever be
valiant for law and order, for the fami-
ly and the State, uphold the constitu-
ton and defend the institutions OF our
fathers. A quarter Of a century has
passed. In the place OF q divided
land we are one again. In the place
OF the desolsted homes and devastated
fields the voice OF industry is begin
ming to be heard, the waste places to
be built up, and soon our country
will bloom as the rose.
In the place of social fabric laden
with heavy incumbrance, the new
South Is spripgipg into life terminated
with the inspiration OF the true nobil.
ity OF our institutions, for the perpe,-
uity Of which these brave men gave
their lives. Schooled by the at.
fictions of this past gene a.
ton, eulogizsd by the heroic
examples oil those whom today we
honor, with civilization purified by
the shock of arms-institutions
brought into nobler and holder relief
by the struggle for their perpstuity,
may we not now hope we have entered
upon a lseculum mirabile-thst shall
have lasting impress upon this Re-
public Of Staies2

PRovIDENoE, R. l., May 7.-Thomaa
C. Perkins, aged 4S years, re6ner, is
under arrest for stealing from his en-
ployers, Potter & Burlington, manu-
featuring jewellers. His manner Of
theft consisting in making false return
Of the stock used and disposing of the
surplus, He was well paid, was his
own master in the shop and enjoyed
the full confidence OF his employers.
When arrested he had thirteen ounces
Of gold upon him, just as it came
from the crucible. His speculstions
are thought to amount to $4,000, and
bis breach OF trust has no parallel in
the history of the jeWelry trade.

Money is No Object.

The lives of your children are of
priceless value. Every child is subject
to sudden attacks of bowel complaint
during the summer months. 1t is al
ways alarming and often fatal, the
only rational plan is to be provided at
all times with the safest and sureSt
remedy, and promptly treat the disorder
in its first stages, and before the vitality
becomes exhausted. Unexpected de-
lays so often occur i'll sending for a
physician or medicine, especially during
the night or from a distance, that no
one can afford to risk such uncertain
ties when life depends upon prOmptness,
keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy at hand
for instant use. 1t is made for bowel
complaint only, and is unquestiOnably
the most reliable medicine ever brought
into general use. The price is no OBJ
ject compared with its value in saving
life. Sold by Barnes 81 NOrthcraft.

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Bosctee's
German Syrup within few years has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung troubles. 1t acts ON an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptiOns given by physicians, as it
does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them purely healthy condition.
A bottle kept in the house for use when
the diseases make their appearance,
will save Doctors bills and long spell
of serious illness. A trial will convince
you Of these facts. 1t is positively sold
by all druggists and general dealers in
theland. Price. IS cts, large bottles.

Solomon News and Notes.

Mr.. James Hughes and family have
moved to Beloit. He has rented a hotel
in that city.
Mr. Campbell, of Junction. City, who
has been acting as agent in the sale of
the Hall property, returned home last
evening.
Mrs. Hall sold another lot yesterday,
on First St., to Mr. Will Sutherland.
There was a dance at the Germans
last evening. Several of the young
people drove out.
Cottage House is crowded every day.
1t is said that there is such thing
s''being penny wise and found foolish. :"
We have in onr city magnificent and
new hotel, which bears the high sound
ing foreign name of "Montezuma
house." Its a great pity that this
fine building should stand idle. Were
it occupied, hundreds of dollars would
pass through the Golfers of our mer-
chants, as it is it goes to other towns
along the U. p. Why don't the Board
of Trade take hold of the matter? We
might as well have some of the money
the travelling public is spending in other
towns. Should it cost our merchants
something to get good man to take
the hotel it would soon be returned in
trade. Solomon is losing money every
week by this idleness. Should the rent
be reduced and some encouragement
given by our tradesmen, the Monte
yuma" would soon be rented.
And now VIM. V. Smart & Co.
comes to the front in increasing the
capacity of their store. They have
had good trade this spring, and en-
lsrgement has become a necessity.
Our streets are being put in good
shape for driving.
Mr.. Field has recently set out sew
eral hundred trees on the property he
bought Of Mrs. Howerton.
The stock of goods at the Benefit
store is being sold out at greatly reduced
prices.
1t was rumor a few days ago that
the Rock Island was to begin grading
the first of the week. Nothing has
